One Of the stransest examples OF retrib-
utye justice is exhibited in the FREQUENT
and horrible deaths of the man who
threw the bomb ct the Chicago Haymar-
ket riot He first came to a violent end
by drowning in Lake E:ie, wearing at the
time the name Of Schnauble t. Two or
three weeks ago he was blown to pieces
by premature explosion in a quarry
somewhere IN New York state, under an
altogether different name. 1t was
hoped that, after being distributed
over several acres in a fragmentary con
dition, his Identity was forever lost, but
he turned mp again ct Cincinnati last
week under the name of Professor
Scaaffer, and died quietly AID decentlv
from an overdose of morphine taken with
suicidal intent. That was the third time
he had become a remains since Isst June.
Such persistent mortality is unparalleled,
and 1t shows what Nemesis can do when

Sugar VIII Save 1t.

Col. George w. Hooker has been out
to Denver and come back through the
West with frequent stOp-Overs to see
old friends and talk over public affairs.
The colonel was interviewed, of course,
and unfOlded big scheme he has in
mind, which will save the republican
party. This is nothing more nor less
than simply taking the tariff off sugar.
Says the colonel:
awhile out West l learned that the
reason why the Knights of Labor threw
their forces against the republicans in
the congressional elections two years
ago was because of the refusal of the
republican house to take the duty off
sugar, the aggregate amount of which
is something like $45, 100000 or $46,
0OO,0 annually, although the same
house lifted $I4, 100000 tax off the ma
tiOnal banks. If we had reversed this
operation the republican party would
still be in power. 1t is not too late for
the party to go back and begin over
again. If republican leaders direct
their energies to formulating measures
for the welfare of the entire people re-
gardless of the corporations and mo-
nOpOlies, the party can easily secure a
new lease of life and a new hold in
public confidence. 1t is the straight
road -
